Ready to spend? Then this is the best place to start!

Below are any beading and jewellery making related shops I know of. I have also included some others which may be of interest to you e.g. shops selling packaging and displays for jewellery, trimmings and buttons.

Please note that it may be wise to contact any shops you plan to visit to confirm they are still open and their times etc before travelling.
